I made it through two years of posting to this journal daily. Every single day, I've dutifully written out something about what happened during the day and posted it, taking note of the journal archive, feeling a bit of a sense of accomplishment to see every day filled into the little journal calendar ( Read more... )

I'd love to write a long entry about what 2015 meant to me, but I've written an entry every single day this year on this journal, so I think I'll save that for a day I don't have a party to go to. Suffice it to say, there was a ton that went on in this year, from the Fringe to losing my Uncle Jack to health concerns and job stuff and all sorts of ( Read more... )

I don't know what you're supposed to do on Boxing Day, but we spent our day very quietly ( Read more... )

Part 1: Peter and I wake up and exchange presents.We gave each other lots of really nice things...the one thing that he totally didn't expect was a Muppet Show cuckoo clock that one of my Facebook friends had a photo of just a week ago, and I thought there was no way of getting in time for Christmas, but I ordered it with express delivery and it ( Read more... )

From my Facebook post just a few minutes ago:

Laurie, Peter, and I went to Mom's house for our now-traditional Christmas Eve dinner of stuffed shells (made by me) with sauce (made by Peter) and meatballs (made by Mom). A lovely time was had by all, made special by the fact that it was quiet and laid-back, and over by 8:30pm, when we were all ( Read more... )
